Dear Lisa,
lady of the city
Slight of hand.
I am sorry I did not see
that my moments of shock
were your normality
I did not grasp your true reality
You stood in your glory, and I said goodbye
I was horrified
I know not of your fate
Can't be worse then mine
Fresh tears, Sincerely
Ann

The Rays of Power
The warrior gazed at the rays of light dancing on the lake. The heat radiating from the water, soaked into her naked arms. She heard the singing of the invaders. She looked for the attackers but couldn't find them. Dead animals floated by her. She wondered if she would be next. A shot of light struck the water. Sparks jumped towards her. She froze in what she thought was fear. When the sparks disappeared she tried to escape. She was shocked to discover she was now a statue. Her emotions were alive, but her body was her prison.

beautifully said. Well done.
Sometimes, we only realize the impact people have on us a long time after their paths have deviated from ours. It's ok though, we are not perfect. ;-) A very emotional and relatable read.
